Cassandra: Bravely be you! Shine your light and speak your truth no matter who believes you, or is listening.
Our greatest sources of our suffering are the stories we tell ourselves.
My biggest hope is that women who feel stuck or oppressed in anyway right now, learn it is ok and valuable to express themselves, find and share their authentic voice and share their unique life stories with the world. This to me is true self-expression. Not making a piece of art.
My painting Cassandra was named after reading the book Cassandra Speaks by Elizabeth Lesser.
Cassandra Speaks, in a nut shell, is all about woman and stories; how all the classic stories told were by men and how life would be completely different now if the old stories were told by women.
In Cassandra Speaks, Elizabeth encourages women, to find their voice and share their stories so we can make a change for the future. So stories of compassion, community, care-taking and communication become what people see instead of vengeance, selfishness and violence.
Talking about woman being the only caring and compassionate people is very gender specific, which I don’t agree with. There are caring, compassionate men and there are angry and violent women. What I do love however, is it that our stories….the stories about our lives and what we uniquely bring to the world can make a change if we speak up.
